The examination will be conducted by IIT Kharagpur on July 3, 2021. In addition to this, 75 per cent eligibility criteria have also been scrapped.
The government has allowed the qualifying candidates of JEE Main 2020 who were unable to appear for the second stage of the examination due to the COVID-19 pandemic to directly appear for JEE Advanced 2021 . As a result, the number of candidates for the final stage of the exam is going to increase.
The JEE (Main) is offered in English, Hindi and Gujarat. The Times of India reported that “candidates can now also opt to take the test in 10 other vernacular languages – Assamese, Bengali, Kannada, Marathi, Malayalam, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu.”
The JEE Advanced exam consists of two question papers and has a time duration of three hours each. Both papers are compulsory for students and consist of three separate sections of physics, chemistry, and mathematics.
JEE Advanced, likewise, is conducted by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) for admission to the 23 IITs in the country. While JEE-Mains is conducted for admission to engineering colleges across the country, it is considered as a qualifying test for JEE-Advanced.
